Popular Connecticut bagel chain opens 1st Georgia store on the Atlanta Beltline
An internet-famous bagel chain that’s all about sharing and considers itself “not famous, but known,” is popping up on the Atlanta Beltline.
It’s called PopUp Bagels, and its business model is designed for offices, friend groups, and anyone who believes food is better when it’s shared.
The PopUp Bagels team, based in New York City, made its way to The A to launch Georgia’s first-ever store.
They gave CBS News Atlanta Mornings a preview of the store the day before their Friday grand opening.
“We sell community,” said founder Adam Goldberg, “Let’s grab a bag of bagels, stuff them on the table, and rip in. Maybe I’ll have a little of your schmear. You’ll have a little of my schmear, and we’ll all just schmear together.”
The schmear is part of their signature selling point. It’s a bowl of cream cheese, original or flavored, that comes with your order of three, six, or 12 bagels.
The point is to rip the bagels, reveal their hot, fluffy interior, and dip them into the schmear.
There are two flavored schmears sold on a weekly rotating menu in addition to the three standard flavors of plain, salted butter, and scallion. The Atlanta store opens with a peach-flavored schmear, an exclusive temporary third option.
“It’s definitely like a social experiment,” said Janvi Patel, owner of the Atlanta shop, “It’s like so nice to just like grab like six people, get a dozen bagels, and try shmears. It’s just it’s exciting.”
PopUp managers say more stores are coming to the area, with the next set to open in Buckhead, then another in Dunwoody.
The Beltline store is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and stays open until 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
